As a graduate of the University of South Carolina, I know what a historic achievement this is for the school and state. Last night’s win in the College World Series was the first men’s national championship in any sport for the university. The Gamecocks performance in the College World Series, and really throughout the entire Road to Omaha, was the epitome of ‘team.’

The biggest mistake the Committee made was trying to convince our men and women in uniform that we care what they think when, by our actions today, we clearly do not. They deserve better.May 26 2010

I do not support the idea of repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell before our military members and commanders complete their review. This so-called compromise would repeal the legislation first then receive input from the military. This is not the proper way to change any policy, particularly something as controversial as Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

This is a big win. I am very pleased with and relieved by this decision from the court of appeals. It was a well-reasoned, strongly supportive statement of our men and women serving overseas fighting the War on Terror.

Ms. Kagan is not someone a Republican president would have chosen for a position on the Supreme Court.

My opposition to Professor Liu’s nomination is not a disagreement over judicial philosophy, as I expect this Administration to put forward judges with whom I disagree. Instead, my opposition to Professor Liu is based on a deep-seated disagreement over the proper role of a judge in our democratic societyMay 12 2010

I have enjoyed working with Senators Kerry and Lieberman to create a new model for our nation in the areas of energy independence, job creation, and providing Americans with the cleanest air and purest water on the planet. When it comes to our nation's policy on energy independence and pollution control, I don't believe any American finds the status quo acceptable.
